Official Froch vs Groves II Master Discussion Thread

[LacedUp]

Fight had turned, Froch took over after the 6th. He said Groves's punches didn't have the same snap on them after that.

Yeah he said that, but I don't really think that was the whole truth. Obviously not many fighters are as sharp in the 7th and 8th as they are in first couple of rounds, but I do remember Groves buzzing Carl in the 7th and either 8th or 9th.

Froch also said he'd only rewatched the fight once and wasn't even at his full senses in the post fight interview! Regardless, I think too much has been made of the "changing of the tide". I didn't see anything differently from round 5 and round 7. Groves won both. 8th was a 10-10 for me.

Good post. Even though you dropped the C bomb on Groves

I think the bold is key. Maybe it's key for both fighters as Froch was hurt and not himself for the next 4-5 rounds, but also Groves maybe threw caution to the wind a little too much and gave it all he had when he saw Froch was hurt.

That could have taken away from his performance down the stretch.
Not sure if it goes 12 though, I think if it hasn't been stopped within 6 - Groves will box and move and try not to get caught.

Tough one, don't even know who I'd pick but if my house was on it, probably Froch.

But I still fancy Groves to do the job either by retirement or by decision. Don't think he can knock Froch out.

Thanks mate. The c-bomb is justified here isn't it?

You can also say that Froch often is such a c*ck, but not as much before this fight as he normally is.

My pick sways by the hour literally, but I felt I had to make a decision because I am so looking forward to this.

Is Haye going to fight at CW again he looks really thinned out maybe even LHW.

Looks like a little toy ring there.

James DeGale is going to have his back on the ropes all night.

Should have bet on this American chap. I've exhausting my enforced betting allowance for today.

I don't really understand how this point system and betting works, but if anyone want to bet against me I'm up for my 18k points. I got Froch in this one.
